Our family of two finally grew to three--then to four! We pray God will allow us to continue to grow! Get updates on the happenings of our family here. It probably won't be too exciting--a lot of blah, blah, blah--but I will include pictures and video clips if that will bring you back. Oh, and we'll toss in some free stuff too!

30 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 9

I am thankful for first, second, third, forth…(and so on) CHANCES to get IT right!

“Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from inside the fish. He said, “I cried out to the LORD in my great trouble, and He answered me. I called to you from the world of the dead, and LORD, you heard me! You threw me into the ocean depths, and I sank down to the heart of the sea. I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves. Then I said, ‘O LORD, you will have driven me from your presence. How will I ever again see your holy Temple?’ I sank beneath the waves, and death was very near. The waters closed in around me, and seaweed wrapped itself around my head. I sank down to the very roots of the mountains. I was locked out of life and imprisoned in the land of the dead. But you, O LORD my God, have snatched me from the yawning jaws of death! “When I had lost all hope, Iturned my thoughts once more to the Lord. And my earnest prayer went out to you in your holy Temple. Those who worship false gods turn their backs on all God’s mercies. But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the LORD alone.”

I began blogging several years ago in search of new friends who, like me, were having a difficult time getting pregnant. Five years, 2 miscarriages, 4 failed IUI's, and a doctor who told us "It will never happen" later, we are the proud parents of Kade and Kohen. They are each an example of God's absolute perfection. We thank God where medical intervention stops, Divine intervention begins.

About Me

I am married to my best friend and strongest ally. We have our share of misfortune which makes us stronger; we are guilty of mistakes which keep us human; we count our blessings which keep us humble. We share a love that is rare, a life that is priceless, and two sons we were told would never be. We are a blessed family!

Resolution for Women

1. I do solemnly resolve to embrace my current season of life and maximize my time in it. I will resist the urge to hurry through or circumvent any a portion of my journey but will live with a spirit of contentment.

2. I will champion God's model for womanhood in the face of a post-feminist culture. I will teach it to my daughters and encourage its support by my sons.

3. I will accept and celebrate my uniqueness, and will esteem and encourage the distinctions I admire in others.

4. I will live as a woman answerable to God and faithfully committed to His Word.

5. I will seek to devote the best of myself, my time, and my talents to the primary roles the Lord has entrusted to me in this phase of my life.
